From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 467 The Stowaways from the Abyss Rift
Lin Zeyu teleported to the Tidal Sea and returned two days later with a message.

"High Priestess Sona has provided a way to sneak into the Tidal Sea by crossing through the Abyssal Rift."

The method of smuggling oneself to other worlds through abyssal rifts does exist, but the survival rate of this method is extremely low.

Since the abyss descended, abyssal rifts have appeared from time to time.

There are still many areas on Earth with rift mists, which are emitted from deep rifts.

The chances of encountering abyssal demons in the mist are quite high; many of these demons come from abyssal rifts.

Since demons can enter the human world through rifts, humans can naturally also enter the abyss through rifts.

However, trying to cross the abyss rift is no different from crossing a meat grinder.

The rift itself is a crack caused by the breaking of space. The interior of the rift is very unstable, and even the laws of the world are unstable.

Humans, as summoners, are teleported into the Abyss World and receive Abyss Assimilation from the summoning will, thus enabling them to survive in the target world.

Entering the Abyss through the rift is a different story; you'll be crushed into pieces by the rift.

Even if you withstand the crushing force of the rift and enter the world on the other side, unpredictable changes will occur due to the differences in the laws of those worlds.

Therefore, the chances of survival are extremely low if one tries to cross the abyss rift to another world.

Most of the demons that appear on Earth come through the abyssal rifts.

The reason the demon was able to come was due to a combination of factors.

Most importantly, demons are more adaptable to their environment and more resistant to rifts.

For example, the Balrog is essentially an elemental creature without a flesh and blood body. When it passes through a rift, even if it is torn apart by the rift, the damage it suffers is not as severe as that of a human.

Then there are the Abyssal Xenomorphs, which are even more terrifying. All it takes is for a single cell to pass through a rift into the human world, where it can parasitize an animal and grow into an Xenomorph larva.

These abilities to traverse rifts are things that humans do not possess.

Moreover, a single human crossing the rift into the abyss gains nothing but danger.

Without the lure of profit, few would risk crossing the rift.

Of course, when the population of a species reaches a certain size, there will always be some special individuals who are not afraid of death, or even seek death.

Therefore, some people with superpowers have indeed tried to enter the abyss rift, but almost none of them have returned.

In Lu Heng's memory, there were indeed people with superpowers who successfully crossed the abyss rift and returned, but they were missing many parts of their bodies after returning.

After this incident, even fewer people with superpowers dared to try it.

In the community of people with superpowers, this method of crossing the abyss rift is also called "smuggling".

This statement is in contrast to the conscription in the Abyss Battlefield. Conscription is the legitimate way to teleport to the Abyss World, while crossing the Abyss Rift naturally becomes "smuggling".

"Smuggling" is extremely dangerous. If his divine energy hadn't turned negative, Lu Heng wouldn't have considered this method.

Upon hearing that it was "smuggling," Lu Heng asked, "What did Sona say? The success rate of traversing the Abyss Rift is rather low."

Lin Zeyu explained, "Sona said she could use the Heart of the Tide to help stabilize the spatial rift, but she also said that this method is still very dangerous, and she wants you to think it over carefully. If you're sure you want to do it, then use this Echoing Conch to transmit the message."

As he spoke, he took out an echoing conch shell and handed it to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng held the Echoing Conch and pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Lin Zeyu added, "This echoing conch only works in seawater."

Lu Heng naturally understood this, agreed, and went out to the beach.

Say a sentence to the echoing conch, then put it into the sea.

The seawater will carry this echo into the depths of the ocean.

Under normal circumstances, the echoing conch can only reverberate between connected seas.

In other words, without other influencing factors, the sound from the Echo Conch cannot travel from the human world to the Tidal Sea.

However, the existence of the abyssal rift makes it possible for the two worlds to have a spatial connection point.

The first time humans were conscripted to the world of the Sirens was because they closed a deep rift in the Andaman Sea.

The rift in the Andaman Sea was originally connected to the tidal sea of ​​the Dragon's Rest world.

In other words, if the sound from the Echoing Conch can be heard by the High Priestess Sona of the Siren Clan, it means that there is a rift in the sea that connects to the Tidal Sea.

Of course, there might not be a rift connecting to the tidal sea, in which case the smuggling plan would not be possible.

Lu Heng put the echoing conch into the seawater and waited for more than ten minutes, but there was no reaction.

Just when everyone thought there would be no response, they suddenly saw seawater gushing out of the Echoing Conch.

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Heng's eyes as he picked up the Echo Conch and put it to his ear.

Sona's distant voice echoed from the conch shell: "The rift point has been found. Use [Heart of the Tide] to maintain the rift passage; it's barely passable. The rift is unstable and can be closed at any time. If you want to come over, you'll need to hurry."

Lu Heng held the Echoing Conch, pondered for a moment, and decided that with his current strength, it was indeed worth a try.

"I want to give it a try, but I can't pinpoint the location of the crack."

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Sona's voice came from the Echo Conch again.

"The echoing conch will guide your way."

Lu Heng held the Echo Conch and examined it carefully. He noticed that the seawater inside the conch was creating ripples, but the center of the ripples was not in the exact center of the conch, but rather towards the sea.

This must be the direction the conch shell was pointing.

Lu Heng considered for a moment, took out his phone, and sent a message in the team group: "I'm going to the Siren World. I'll be back soon."

Actually, this trip was very dangerous, but there was no need to explain the extent of the danger in the message to my teammates. It wouldn't make a difference anyway. Let's just treat it as a normal outing.

After sending the message, Lu Heng activated the power of the Wind Lord and flew close to the sea surface towards the depths of the ocean.

Two hours later, in a trench three thousand meters deep in the ocean, they found the spatial rift connecting to the tidal sea.

The fissure is not large; judging from the amount of seawater flowing into it, the fissure is about half a meter in diameter.

This width is extremely dangerous; a diameter of half a meter is barely enough for a person to squeeze through.

However, the crack itself is an irregular spatial fissure, and the spatial fragments become more jagged towards the edge.

Therefore, a half-meter-wide gap in space is difficult for a person to pass through.

Fortunately, this spatial rift is relatively stable.

Lu Heng spoke to the Echoing Conch: "I've found the location of the crevice."

This time, the response from the echoing conch shell came quickly, with a reply arriving in just three minutes.

Sona: "I have stabilized the rift passage with [Heart of the Tide]. You can try to come over, but don't force yourself. If you can't enter the rift passage, just go back."

Upon hearing the reply, Lu Heng raised his hand and spread out the [Divine Source Armor] to cover his entire body, then reached his hand into the rift passage.

The palm enters at the center of the fissure, where the fissure is relatively stable.

Even so, Lu Heng still felt that the protective layer of the [Divine Source Armor] was subjected to intense pressure, as if it were being cut by countless sharp blades.

Lu Heng sensed the pressure on the [Divine Source Armor] and calculated the feasibility of traversing the rift. After a moment, Lu Heng made a decisive decision: he increased the defensive strength of the [Divine Source Armor] and then plunged into the rift passage.

The moment the body passed through the entrance of the rift, the world before the eyes became fragmented, as if countless mirror shards were floating all around, bizarre and strange.

Lu Heng had no time to appreciate the strange sights within the rift passage, as his divine source armor was being squeezed by the rift.

You must get through it as soon as possible, or you will be torn to shreds by the crack.

After Lu Heng entered the fissure passage, he quickly searched for its exit.

Since spatial fissures are not point-to-point connections, there may be varying degrees of gaps between points.

Therefore, entering a fissure passage does not necessarily mean finding an exit.

Fortunately, Lu Heng was already prepared.

The fissure on one side of Blue Star has been swallowing seawater. Once the seawater enters the fissure channel, there must be an exit, and that exit is the Tidal Ocean.

Therefore, as long as you follow the direction of the seawater flow, you can find the exit.

Lu Heng sensed the direction of the water flow and quickly found the exit, then accelerated and rushed towards it.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, a huge object that looked like a shard of glass appeared and crashed into them.

Lu Heng recognized it at a glance; it was a huge fragment of space.

If hit by this spatial fragment, the Divine Source Armor's defensive strength would definitely not be able to withstand it, and the body would be cut into several pieces.

Lu Heng immediately activated [Time Freeze] and [Damage Reversal], and then, the instant the spatial fragment hit him, he activated [Void Flash] and flashed forward.

The next instant, they appeared on the other side of the spatial fragment. Before they could even relax, many more spatial fragments of varying sizes crashed into them.

Lu Heng steadied himself, activated [Void Flash] again, squeezed through the gap, rushed to the exit in one breath, and leaped out.

next moment.

Lu Heng appeared in the Tidal Sea, trying to gasp for breath, but he was surrounded by seawater.

At that moment, a bubble floated over and enveloped Lu Heng's entire body; it was Sona's bubble magic.

Lu Heng gasped for breath inside the bubble, then looked back at the spatial rift behind him and noticed that the edges of the rift were beginning to shrink.

It is possible that the movement through the fissure caused the space debris inside to shift, thus causing the fissure to change.

After Sona withdrew the energy from the Heart of the Tide, the rift rapidly shrank, soon becoming only a tiny spot the size of a palm.

"This rift is unusable. If you want to go back, you'll have to find another way."

Lu Heng calmed his internal energy and checked his body. He was not seriously injured, but his Divine Source Armor had been pierced and there were several cuts on his skin.

Overall, the smuggling operation was successful, but it was very dangerous.

This time there were no unexpected events, but that doesn't mean we'll be this lucky every time.

Moreover, this was only possible with the help of the high priest of the sea monster clan to stabilize the spatial rift.

Anyone else who blindly entered the spatial rift would have been dead long ago.

Sona flicked her powerful tail and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Lu Heng did indeed have important business to attend to, so he didn't stand on ceremony: "I'd like to talk to the Dwarf King with you. There's something I need your help with."

Sona frowned and said reproachfully, "You really need a lot of help."

Lu Heng was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

After saying this seemingly angry remark, Sona immediately smiled and said, "Tell me, what is it that you need?"

Lu Heng replied, "I need to go to the Sea of ​​Chaotic Time and Space."

Sona raised an eyebrow after hearing this and said in surprise, "That place is much more dangerous than a spatial rift. Even a demigod would have a hard time coming out alive if he went in."

Lu Heng took out the [Order Spacetime Orb] and said, "With this, the level of danger can be greatly reduced."

Sona reached out and gently stroked the orb for a moment, then nodded and said, "If we have this, we can certainly give it a try. Actually, our Siren race has something very important that we lost in the Sea of ​​Chaos, and I'd like to go in with you."

“Okay.” Lu Heng originally wanted to ask the powerful members of both races for help to enter the Chaotic Time-Space Sea together.

I was still figuring out how to persuade Sona to go in with me, but she brought it up herself.

"Are you still looking for the Dwarf King?" Sona was, after all, a siren. Although she had reconciled with the Dark Iron Dwarves, she didn't like having too much contact with them.

"Yes, let's talk to the Dwarf King."

“Alright then. I’ll go see him with you.” Sona nodded in agreement.

……

After making some preparations in the Tidal Sea, the two set off for the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom two days later.

Since the crisis of Balrog, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom has enjoyed a period of rapid development.

However, the crisis in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom is not yet completely over.

The last time the Abyss Battlefield dealt with the Balrog Gross sealed at the bottom of the sea, the remaining Gross embers are still buried beneath the main city of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

Judging by the timeline, the time for this part of the Gross Embers to revive is not far off.

That night.

Inside the massive stone hall of the Lava Crown.

Upon learning of Lu Heng's arrival, Soreville Copper Furnace rushed over to greet him, saying, "You're finally back, my friend."

Because of the existence of Quenching Keep, the High Wizard Hogre of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom often kept in touch with Master Gollum.

As a de facto owner of Quenching Fortress, Lu Heng enjoys extremely high prestige in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sorelwell Copperfurnace took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything I can do for you today?"

Lu Heng got straight to the point: "I need to go to the Sea of ​​Chaotic Time and Space, and I hope to get your help."

“This…” Soreville Copper Furnace frowned.

Lu Heng's reputation in the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom is indeed very high, but that doesn't mean he would risk the Dwarf King's life.

Sona chimed in, "Lu Heng has the Ordered Spacetime Orb, so entering the Sea of ​​Chaos isn't that dangerous. I've already decided to go with him."

Soreville Copper Furnace quickly explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but many fire spirits have started to appear in the kingdom. I suspect that the Gross Embers are beginning to revive. If I leave now, the fire spirits will take this opportunity to revive, and I won't be able to handle both sides."

After considering for a moment, Lu Heng said, "Let's go and come back quickly. After we return from the Sea of ​​Chaos, I will stay behind to help you resolve the Flame Demon crisis."

Soreville Copper Furnace was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

In fact, the real threat to Balrog is Sona, but the Dwarf King doesn't have enough influence to persuade Sona to join him.

After all, the two tribes only made peace, and there was no deep friendship between them.

With Lu Heng around, things are different. The Black Iron Dwarves couldn't persuade the Siren High Priest, but Lu Heng could.
